A storyline from the parable of the talents (Matthew 25) guides the reader. Here you have two faithful servants who double their lord's wealth, and one who hides the money. What were these servants' views on ownership?
In This Episode, We Look At:
Whose wealth did they manage and multiply?
In verse 14 the Bible says "… and delivered unto them his goods."
They knew that, while they were in physical possession of riches, the wealth actually belonged to their lord.
The financial resources we have, in a practical sense, is ours. Yet in the spiritual sense it all comes from God, and He calls us to honor Him in our finances.
How is your personal view of ownership?
How wonderful is it, when we acknowledge that our resources are God's resources, that our burdens also are God's burdens?

Acknowledging God's ownership of all that we physically have, puts the burden on God, not us, because the Owner bears the burden. Cast your cares upon the Lord, for He cares for you.
